The plasterer arrived today (after being delayed a couple more weeks) so the room is gonna be ready for painting soon!.

As it was a very skilled job to get a finish (which would make or break the professional look of the job) I decided to get someone in.

If you’re ever stuck for a trade to get into - take up plastering! They’re absolutely impossible to get hold off. When you do find someone interested in doing the task, be prepared for weeks of waiting.
